Brian,
I have been looking for a driver specific to the
VX1 card but have not yet found one. You can use
this card with Linux if you set up for the VESA
frame buffer. If you have not yet found this
option contact me and I will try to provide enough
information for you to get it activated.

More or less in the way that Apple Macs keyboard and mouse are chained
together (by the desktop Bus, I think it's called).
I suppose this depends on the keybd manufacturer, anybody know of such a
device available in Europe?
You should try looking in local shops that cater to Mac users.
At least in the States, the best USB support seems to come from
places (online,mail-order,brick-mortar) that cater to Mac users.
That is the exact setup I am using here (2.3 / 2.4 kernel). MS keyboard
with builtin USB hub, usb mouse plugged into the hub.
Mandrake 7.1 also has rudimentary USB support. Although the installer's
boot kernel does not load any of the USB modules so you will have no
use of the mouse if it is USB. This is actually rather annoying as
Mandrake's installer keybindings aren't well enough documented IMO.
If you can't get that keyboard in europe, you could always just buy a small
USB hub, run the cable from the computer to the hub, then plug the mouse
and keyboard into the hub. This is how my wife's machine is setup
downstairs.
A hub is supposed to be a hub with usb, whether it's embedded in
something else or it's own little box.

Subject: Can't Boot from Compiled Kernel (2.2.13)
Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2000 07:22:01 -0500
I have been battling a wierd boot problem that has me stumped and wondered
if anyone has a solution for this problem.
The problem is that I can't boot from any kernel that I compile on the PC.
However, I
can boot from the IBMMCA.S kernel that came on the Slackware 7.0
distribution.
The symptoms I am experiencing are that the loader starts displaying the
following line and then stops at a blank line below this when I select one
of my
compiled kernels at boot time:
loading linux
If I pick the IBMMCA.S kernel included at installation time, it boots every
time.
I have tried various options in the lilo.conf file with no success. Below
you will find
the current /etc/lilo.conf and /usr/src/linux/.config files.
My normal sequence for compiling the 2.2.13 kernel is:
make dep
make clean
make bzlilo
make modules
make modules_install
Any help you can provide is much appreciated.

Well, the obvious possibility is that your .config file is up a gum tree.
Did you change it (directly, with make config, make xconfig, etc.) before
compiling the new kernel ? I seem to remember that my kernel.HOWTO says
there a 'make config.old' or something similar which I think might be able
to pull out an old version of the .config file. Alternatively, if you still
have the /usr/scr/IBMMCA (or whatever) directory tree, how about pulling the
.config file out of there and trying again ?
Hope this help.
Regards,
Martin.

If that's so then you have a huge problem. The inetd should be running
under all configurations that are even vaguely sensible, even when you

Can any of you using the Ensoniq AudioPci use the xmms volume
control?
I just installed RH 6.2 and am using the ES1371, and the volume
control works in the default cd player, but not in xmms.
Thanks,

FWIW, there's a package called 'cdar' (available at
http://ferret.lmh.ox.ac.uk/~pdw/cdar/ ) which can manage multiple
'tar'-like archives on CDROM. The homepage describes it as:
"Cdar is a utility for writing arbitrary pipes and files to a CDR.
Cdar does not actually write CDs - you will still need to use a
program like cdrecord. Cdar can store and retrieve files from a
multitrack CD. This is very useful if you have a multisession drive as
it allows you to make incremental backups onto a single CD."

See http://sourceforge.net/project/?group_id=7091, but I'm pretty sure
packet writing is only supported in late 2.3 and 2.4-test kernels.
The manpage for cdrecord 1.8 has:
-packet
Set Packet writing mode. This is an experimental
interface.
pktsize=#
Set the paket size to #, forces fixed packet mode.
This is an experimental interface.
-noclose
Do not close the current track, useful only when in

That's about the full extent of the documentation.

The processor is a Cyrix 6x86MX PR266, 83MHz Bus/2.5x, 2.7V. BIOS

I don't have much experience with Cyrix CPUs, but I know that the specs you
are listing are correct. The 2.5x is the core/bus ratio. If your bios
reports 200MHz, the setup is already wrong. But underclocking is less of a
problem than overclocking.
This setup is not only wrong, but will fry your components in the long
run. A bus speed of 83MHz is way to fast to be cmpatible with ISA specs.
The manual for the boards that actually allow such settings usually
explicitely state that this setting is unsupported and may or may
not cause severe problems up to permanent hardware damage.
Bus is set to 66Mz with jumper, voltage is set to 2.8 V (there is no
jumper setting for 2.7 V).
[...]
That doesn't make much sense. The bus speed may be either 66MHz (which
would be fine) or 83MHz (which would be way too fast). A sane setup
for a Cyrix 266 should be a bus speed of 66 MHz and a 4x jumper setting
for the core speed. If that doesn't work, use a 3x setting to reach
200MHz internal.
But since the board doesn't even have a valid setting for the correct
voltage, my advice ould be junking the whole stuff (you've been had)
and getting a sane new system with a reasonable setup. You're probably
wasting way too much time for this junk - unless you can get a hold
of the reseller and demand an exchange. Selling a board with an incompatible
CPU is a matter for the BBB.

After following all available instructions on the web, we haven't been able

Try using one of those scripts on Freshmeat [www.freshmeat.net] that
synchronize your clock to a time server, it'll most likely be easier and

Were you logged in as root when you ran hwclock? If so, try setting
the time in your CMOS setup. I highly recommend installing a time
synchronization package to take care of it for you after that point.
I hear xntp is good, but I prefer chrony. It maintains clock accuracy
even when the network is not up, can compensate for long periods
when the machine is turned off, and can even set the hardware clock
on many linux systems.
